Chapter 1: "The Bastards of Erebus"
by James Jacobs
The Council of Thieves Adventure Path starts with a bang in the crumbling metropolis of Westcrown, former capital of Cheliax, a once-proud empire now reduced to political infighting and ruled by a revolutionary aristocracy in league with the vilest devils of Hell. Decadent nobles and desperate rebels face off against a backdrop of crumbling buildings and badly eroded stability. When a gang of devil-blooded bandits called the Bastards of Erebus threaten Westcrown's delicate status quo, the heroes must face sinister beasts of shadow, relentless armored Hellknights, and whispered rumors of a return to power of the city's legendary criminal guild. What mysterious force is pulling the strings of the shadowy Council of Thieves, and what do its machinations mean for the heroes and all of Cheliax itself?
A 3.5/Pathfinder RPG adventure for first-level characters.
This volume of Pathfinder also includes a gazetteer of the city of Westcrown, whose glory fades by the day and where treachery breeds in every darkened alleyway. Detailed secrets of the mysterious Hellknights are at last revealed, with tips on how to join or how to fight against them. The Pathfinder Bestiary provides a half-dozen new monsters suitable for use with the campaign, and a new story arc of Pathfinder Journal fiction gives life to the settings and peoples of the Council of Thieves Adventure Path.
